In response to the increasing size of today’s satellites Astrium launched the CCR 120/100 Product with a full performance test zone of 8,0 meters in diameter and 12 meters in depth. With two laterally shifted test zones the CCR concept allows for end-to-end performance tests. Each test zone measures 5,0 m in diameter resulting in a total test zone coverage of up to 15 meters.
